Global Interstitial Cystitis Drugs Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The World Health Organization (WHO) designated the illness caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which first appeared in Wuhan (province of Hubei, China) in the last months of 2019, as "coronavirus disease 2019" or COVID-19. This virus spread quickly and had a serious negative impact on the economies, social behaviors, and healthcare of every country in the world.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected several markets across the globe and is also expected to hamper demand and supply in the global interstitial cystitis drugs market. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the demand and supply of viral conjunctivitis drugs market in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand; by creating disruptions in distribution channels; and by having a financial impact on firms and financial markets. The supply chain and manufacturing activities of viral conjunctivitis drugs in India, China, and the U.S. are disrupted due to nationwide lockdowns. Whereas countries, such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, and others, faced problems with regards to the transportation of drugs from one place to another.
Global Interstitial Cystitis Drugs Market: Key Developments
In December 2022, Imbrium Therapeutics L.P., a subsidiary of Purdue Pharma L.P., a pharmaceutical company, announced that the first patient visit has been completed in the Phase 1 clinical study evaluating intravesical (into the bladder) IMB-150 (also known as LYT-503) as a potential non-opioid treatment for female patients with Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS). IMB-150, developed by PureTech, a fullservice digital marketing agency, applying its AlivioTM technology platform, is a novel formulation of lidocaine, and the clinical development program is called GainMe-IC. IMB-150 was licensed from PureTech.
In April 2021, Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc., a biopharmaceutical pioneer in immunomodulator drug discovery and development, announced the grant of a new patent (application number 16/190,450) by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. This patent covers the method for the development of a cannabinoid-based treatment that is used for interstitial cystitis.
In January 2021, Kyorin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. , a wholly owned subsidiary of KYORIN Holdings, Inc., a pharmaceutical company, received approval from the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (hereinafter “MHLW”) as of January 22, 2021, to market the interstitial cystitis “Zymso Intravesical Solution 50%” (hereinafter “Zymso”) in Japan. Zymso is an intravesical infusion containing 50% (w/w) of dimethyl sulfoxide, and its phase III clinical trial (a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study) in 96 Japanese patients with interstitial cystitis was conducted, and its efficacy and safety were evaluated and approved.
In September 2020, according to the report published in National Center for Biotechnology Information, reported that, autologous platelet-rich plasma’s (PRP) popularity as a therapy is increasing. Repeated intravenous injections of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) have been shown to improve symptoms in patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). The urine biomarkers such as NGF, PDGF-AB, MMP-13, and VEGF showed significant changes after three PRP injections. These findings indicate that PRP can alter the bladder environment and alleviate inflammation in diseased bladders.
